So I'm in a pickle. I moved my STR out of the garage, and knew it had little life left in the battery, as it needed a jump. A few days later, there isn't even enough juice in the battery for the electric trunk/boot to release.

I've tried using the key, but I believe the Valet button had been pressed before the car died, and now the trunk (and therefore battery) is sealed. A friend has suggested some graphite lubricant, in case the lock has seized.

I tried opening the hood to see if there was a jump terminal near the front fuse box, but the wire has snapped so I can't get in at all (that's a different challenge).

I'm definitely open to suggestions. I haven't gotten under the car yet to see if there are emergency grounding/jump points I could use. A friend has also suggested a trickle charger which plugs into the cigarette lighter.

Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks
